Conclusion and Way Forward
I. TRACKING CAADP PROGRESS AND IMPACT

II. POLICY SUPPORT & MUTUAL ACCOUNTABILITY

III. FEATURED TOPIC: NUTRITION REVOLUTION

IV. WAY FORWARD

 TRACKING PROGRESS AND IMPACT

1. Implementation Progress
 70 percent of all countries signed compact
 Of these, 60 percent have reached 3rd and 4th stage
implementation:
=> NAIPs as vehicle for internal and external investment
 TRACKING PROGRESS AND IMPACT

2. CAADP impact
 Expenditure, growth, productivity effects positive overall
 Income effect positive for advanced implementers
 Nutrition effect positive for advanced implementers, in
later years
o lack of focus on nutrition?
o Lagging income effect?
 Lesson: Stay the course; deepen implementation
POLICY SUPPORT AND MUTUAL ACCOUNTABILITY

1. Joint Sector Reviews - JSR

 Practiced by a growing number of countries
 Focus on inclusivity, comprehensiveness, technical
robustness
 Use more effectively as learning and management tool
POLICY SUPPORT AND MUTUAL ACCOUNTABILITY

2. SAKSS analytical capacities

 Mobilization of national expertise
o Link demand to supply of knowledge
o Position ministry/sector to use analytical products
o Inform and guide dialogue
POLICY SUPPORT AND MUTUAL ACCOUNTABILITY

3. Mobilize local expertise to support NAIPS 2.0

 Regional and national experts: 150 – 200

 NAIPS 2.0 TookKit

o Metrics to measure targets and outcomes
o Tools to profile and measure progress
o Methodologies to define milestones and goals

 Task Force: IFPRI, ReSAKSS, FAO, AfricaLead, universities

 Technical clinics: Started September 2016
POLICY SUPPORT AND MUTUAL ACCOUNTABILITY

3. Biennial review
 Performance areas, categories, indicators adopted
 Preparation steps defined
 Imbedded in JSR process
